I want to add several things, to the previous (and excellent) replies.
(a) This is an Enterprise Distro, lacking a lot of Multimedia
Applications you might have had in FC. Follow this page on the CentOS
Wiki:
<http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS>
(b) Install the Priorities Plug in and verify that it works, before
you use any 3rd party yum repositories
<http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities>
(c) Instll the FastestMirror Plug In
<http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/FastestMirror>
This is a super mailing list, with extremely helpful people, including
